I work for a charity called Sense, it is a national organisation but we have a residential home here in Accrington where we care for 5 deafblind adults.
Although the care etc is obviously provided by the charity, if we need anything extra for the home itself we provide it by fund raising, a few years ago we raised enough to add a small conservatory on to the house and last year we held a raffle to raise money to re-invent our garden to provide more of a sensory area for our residents, and although our staff did well with the ticket sales we did fall a little short of our target figure.
I know there are many charity organisations in the area but if you were considering giving a donation to somewhere local. we would certainly be able to find a good use for it.
